Hey Bookworms! My apologies for the odd camera angle & contrast. My Canon camera battery died and I decided to record from my iPhone...with mixed results. Thanks for watching!
-
Swan Song is the best book ever written in my opinion. I read it in 92 for the first time and have read it 6 more times. π€π€π€
-
The red lighting sets the mood perfectly for this video
-
Real life is dystopian enough at the moment.
-
Great list! My only personal additions would be: A Clockwork Orange The Running Man Brave New World Day of the Triffids
-
You got me to read I Am Legend Mike! I loved it! Great twist in the end!!!
-
Definitely adding all of these to my TBR! I actually bought a second hand copy of Swan Song back in December, to read this year.
-
Swan Song was an absolute page turner. Never a boring moment. 10/10 recommend itβs so enjoyable.
-
I remember the summer before I started 11th grade I had to read both To Kill a Mockingbird and Fahrenheit 451 for my English honors class. I fell in love with both, but Fahrenheit was my favorite just because I loved sci-fi. My teacher polled the class, and it was only me and 1 other student that preferred Fahrenheit 451 over To Kill a Mockingbird. It was kind of awkward to be the odd man out. But to see it at your #1 is absolutely awesome. I still love this book since I read it for school.
-
Sweeeeeet!! Thanks for the recs. I was itching to read a dystopian/post-apocalyptic book. Definitely checking out Swan Song!! I've been a silent follower of yours for some time now. You got my dad and I hooked on the Dresden Files haha!!
-
Dystopian Books I enjoyed, in no particular order Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury Alas Babylon - Pat Frank A Canticle for Leibowitz - Walter M. Miller Jr The Road - Cormac McCarthy Anathem - Neal Stephenson 1984 - George Orwell Swan Song - Robert McCammon The Stand - Stephen King Slaughterhouse-Five - Kurt Vonnegut Jr Wool - Hugh Howey The Passage - Justin Cronin Lucifer's Hammer - Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle Dies the Fire - SM Stirling
-
Never Let Me Go has to be near the top of my list I think. Maybe at the top. I read it as often as my heart can take it.
-
I read A Canticle for Liebowitz in my teens (50 years ago) and remember liking it, The Stand in my early adulthood and liked that. As an older adult I have enjoyed The Wasteland Saga by Nick Cole, Swan Song, and my favorite Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank.
-
Nice list Mike. I have to mention my personal favorite that isn't on your sci-fi list or this one and it's The Dispossessed by Ursula K Leguin. It's a story with two planets, one is a utopia and one a dystopia (beneath the utopian surface) and the main character experiences both.
-
Great List! I would find a place on this ranking for Earth Abides, one of my favorites.
-
Excited you're going to read a Canticle for Leibowitz. I read that novel and the sheer scope of it, it felt huge and all encompassing, and the characters were so very real. It truly stuck with me forever.
-
Ten books is a lot for a quick comment, but I do recommend βWanderers,β by Chuck Wendig, was fantastic. I also wonder what you would think of Emily St. John Mandelβs βStation Eleven.β I really enjoyed them both. Both books provided COMPLETELY different reading experiences, but both very satisfying. The former was more fast paced, while the latter was more cerebral. Enjoy the channel. WOW, it just keeps on growing. Congrats!π
-
Swan Song, just an awesome book!.π
-
I love 1984. You could say Atlas Shrugged is sort of a dystopian novel, even has a similar opening set of images, but with a calendar, instead of a clock.
-
I have Swan Song waiting for me on my shelf once I chip into my TBR a bit more and I'm so excited to get there.
